We should be honest with you. We started this because of something we noticed in ourselves.

When we started our family, we thought we'd be the present parents. The ones who put the phone away. The ones who are actually there.

And mostly, we are. But we also caught ourselves saying “one sec” while scrolling. Checking email while our son played at our feet. Being in the room but not really in the room.

It's not just us. It's all of us. Our phones, our work, the endless stream of content. The world is designed to pull us away from the people sitting right next to us.

We realized: our son is young now. These years are finite. And we wanted to be more intentional about how we spend them.

So we built this. Not as a fix. As a practice.

One hour a week where everyone puts it all down and does something together. Something interesting enough that nobody misses the screen.

It's working for our family. We hope it works for yours too.
